How I Treat Stress with Hypnotherapy

At Behavioural Freedom, I use a skills-based model for treating stress. During our sessions, I will teach you relaxation techniques and helpful ways in which you can fundamentally, positively and permanently change the way you behave, think, act and react. It’s also important to note here that you can’t be stressed when you are in a relaxed state. The skills you’ll learn during your time with me will be vital to both your on-going treatment and perhaps more so as you leave my care.

A combination of Applied Relaxation and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is considered by the British Medical Journal to be one of the most effective therapies to combat stress and put you on a path to having a positive mind-set and being able to live life to the fullest, free of worries. By combining both and adding in the element of hypnosis, I believe this is the most effective, pragmatic and relevant approach to the treatment of stress.

Relaxation through Hynotherapy

You live your life at 100 miles an hour and opportunities for pure, undisturbed relaxation without kids demanding dinner or your phone constantly beeping are at a premium.

Some people soak in the bath, some put on classical music and some go for regular massages. At Behavioural Freedom, I know that there are a lot of people who don’t like the tactile, ‘laying of hands’ element of the massage table but crave the sensation of being in a deeply relaxed state.

When I talk about ‘Relaxation through Hypnosis’, I don’t mean swinging a pocket watch in front of your face and telling you to go to sleep. I mean talking to you in such a way that your state of consciousness alters to become more focused with a heightened state of awareness where you will have the ability to both calm and free your mind and feel physically relaxed.

Perhaps without realising it, we all self-hypnotise. When you are daydreaming, engrossed in a book or TV show or when your mind is completely focused on the task at hand. Relaxation is a similar process.

I will take you on a journey where you are the driver. There’s no initial consultation and I don’t need or want to know your medical history because I’m not looking to resolve underlying issues or stress or anxiety. This is purely about refreshment of the body and mind.

The benefits to you of relaxation through hypnosis with Behavioural Freedom are not only immediate, they stay with you for weeks and months afterwards –

Unburden your mind from your everyday stresses and strains

You wake up feeling brighter, less groggy and ready to tackle the day

Unravel the mental knots in your muscles and feel looser and more relaxed

Reorder your mind with a clear focus and determination

Feel safer and more comfortable that you can ‘self-relax’ when you need to

The more relaxed you are – and the more relaxed you can stay – the clearer your mind works. Feeling relaxed is as vital to your lifestyle as eating the right food, having enough sleep and doing regular exercise.
